Behavior Change Techniques in Physical Activity eHealth Interventions for People With Cardiovascular Disease: Systematic Review
(2017)

Abstract:
Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of premature death and disability in Europe, accounting for 4 million deaths per year and costing the European Union economy almost €196 billion annually. There is strong evidence to suggest that exercise-based secondary rehabilitation programs can decrease the mortality risk and improve health among patients with CVD. Theory-informed use of behavior change techniques (BCTs) is important in the design of cardiac rehabilitation programs aimed at changing cardiovascular risk factors. Electronic health (eHealth) is the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) for health. This emerging area of health care has the ability to enhance self-management of chronic disease by making health care more accessible, affordable, and available to the public. However, evidence-based information on the use of BCTs in eHealth interventions is limited, and particularly so, for individuals living with CVD. Objective: The aim of ...

Abstract:
Purpose: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of premature death and disability in Europe. Effective exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) can improve mortality and morbidity rates, yet uptake of community-based CR is low (1). PATHway (Physical Activity Towards Health) is a technology-enabled lifestyle behaviour change intervention designed to enhance patient self-management of CVD through adherence to physical activity and other health behaviours. This paper explains the co-design and user validation process that is being employed for the development of the PATHway platform. Methods: CVD patients from a) hospital-based CR and b) community-based CR across two sites (Dublin, Ireland; Leuven, Belgium) are invited to participate in the study. To facilitate an iterative process, three separate rounds of semi-structured interviews, a total of twelve focus groups (4 groups x 3 rounds) are planned between February and April 2016. In round one interviews, participan...

Abstract:
This abstract details the development phase of the formative research process outlined by the Medical Research Council, used to develop a theoretically informed Android App, named MedFit, to enhance disease self-management and quality of life in adults with cardiovascular disease (CVD). The overall aim of the app is to increase physical activity minutes of adults with CVD. A key part of the development phase, which is the focus of this abstract, is the co-design and user validation of the MedFit app.

Abstract:
Background: This research details the development phase of the formative research process as part of the mHealth Development Evaluation Framework, used to develop a theoretically informed Android App, named MedFit. The overall aim of the app is to increase physical activity minutes of adults with cardiovascular disease (CVD). This research comes under the theme ‘Health and Wellbeing’, creating an alternative mode of cardiac rehabilitation. The focus of this abstract is the co-design and user validation of the MedFit app through focus group testing. Methods: Participants in the focus groups were recruited from the HeartSmart programme in MedEx. MedEx is an exercise rehabilitation programme for people with chronic illness run in Dublin City University (DCU). In total 26 people took part in the groups (65% male; mean age 648.2 years). There were five focus groups lasting approximately 1.5-2 hours in duration, with a max. of six people per group. The script was developed and informed ...

Abstract:
Rehabilitation from cardiovascular disease (CVD) usually requires lifestyle changes, especially an increase in exercise and physical activity. However, uptake and adherence to exercise is low for community based programmes. We propose a mobile application that allows users to choose the type of exercise and compete it at a convenient time in the comfort of their own home. Grounded in a behaviour change framework, the application provides feedback and encouragement to continue exercising and to improve on previous results. The application also utilizes wearable wireless technologies in order to provide highly personalized feedback. The application can accurately detect if a specic exercise is being done, and count the associated number of repetitions utilizing accelerometer or gyroscope signalsMachine learning models are employed to recognize individual local muscular endurance (LME) exercises, achieving overall accuracy of more than 98%. This technology allows providing a near real-...

Abstract:
Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of premature death and disability in Europe. Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR) can reduce the impact of CVD by lowering mortality and morbidity rates and promoting healthy active lifestyles. Yet adherence within CR is low. Research suggests that mHealth interventions are useful in supporting the self-management of chronic disease. The overall purpose of this research is to facilitate the development of a specially designed Android App called MedFit, which aims to enhance the likelihood of people with established CVD self-managing their disease through participation in an exercise-based rehabilitation programme. Methods: For the intervention development, the preliminary stages of the Medical Research Council’s (MRC) formative process [i) development and ii) feasibility/piloting were used. This was achieved by conducting a systematic literature review, adhering to PRISMA guidelines, to identify what behaviour change techniques ...

Abstract:
Background: The MedFit application is designed to facilitate people with cardiovascular disease (CVD) to participate in an exercise-based rehabilitation programme remotely. This paper details development of the formative research process outlined by the Medical Research Council. Purpose: To describe the development of the MedFit app, by following the early stages of the formative research process; development and feasibility/piloting. Methods: Following the creation of the first prototype of the app, the feasibility and acceptability of the prototype application was tested in focus groups. The focus group script was developed using a questionnaire (N=119 MedEx participants; 64.7% male; mean age 65 ± 8.86 years) based on usability theory (UTAUT2). Twenty-six cardiac rehabilitation participants took part in the five focus groups (65% male; mean age 64±8.2 years) to provide feedback on the prototype app. Focus groups were transcribed verbatim and in-depth content analysis was performed...

Abstract:
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most common cause of mortality in Ireland, accounting for one third of all deaths and one in five premature deaths [1]. With the prevalence of CVD so high, not only in Ireland but across the world, cardiac rehabilitation has never been so important as a continuous process of care. The main purpose of cardiac rehabilitation is to prevent a further cardiac event and improve the person’s quality of life. However, uptake of such programmes remains low. mHealth technologies may tackle some of the issues relating to poor uptake and low adherence, such as accessibility and affordability. This paper outlines the formative research process to develop a mobile-application for cardiovascular rehabilitation. [1] Department of Health and Children. (2010). Changing Cardiovascular Health.

Abstract:
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of premature death and disability in Europe, accounting for four million deaths annually. Exercise-based Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR) can reduce the impact of CVD by lowering mortality and morbidity rates and promoting healthy active lifestyles. Yet adherence within CR is low. Common adherence issues relate to accessibility/parking at local hospitals, a dislike of group environments and work/domestic commitments. Mobile health (mHealth) is an emerging area of healthcare, defined as “medical and public health practice supported by mobile devices, such as mobile phones, patient monitoring devices, personal digital assistants and other wireless devices”. Research suggests that mHealth interventions can be useful in supporting the self-management of chronic disease. The purpose of this research is to report on the development of an mHealth intervention.
